When you’re craving a delicious breakfast on those warm summer mornings, you can’t get much better than Greek yoghurt paired with a variety of toppings. Yoghurt bowls have become hugely popular on social media this year, with many people sharing their own unique recipes and combinations with their followers.<\/p>\n
Granola is a pretty popular one, but it’s no secret that it can be high in sugar and fat sometimes. So if you’ve been looking for a yoghurt topping that’s high in fibre but different to your usual fruit or syrup, then one expert has the recipe<\/a> for you. Dr Karan Rajan<\/a> recently took to TikTok<\/a> to share his creation \u2013 a delicious chia jam, bursting with flavour.<\/p>\n You only need three ingredients to make this high fibre jam topping that’s full of goodness that your microbiome will love.<\/p>\n Explaining the process, he said: “Start with 80g of frozen raspberries. This dark red colour tells you they’re a rich source of the antioxidant anthocyanin. This supports beneficial microbes in your gut, and this is also five grams of fibre.”<\/p>\n Pop them in the microwave for 30 seconds until slightly defrosted, and then use a spoon to mash to your desired consistency.<\/p>\n Then, it’s time to add that all-important ingredient – chia seeds.<\/p>\n Dr Karan explained: “Just one tablespoon of chia seeds is enough to help thicken the mixture to a jam-like consistency.<\/p>\n “This has 5g of fibre and mucilage that your gut bacteria can ferment to nourish your colon.”<\/p>\n He then added a ‘small amount’ honey, just to sweeten up the mixture.<\/p>\n Pouring it over the yoghurt, he said: “Who would have thought this unassuming condiment has 10g of fibre but also packed with polyphenols and prebiotics?”<\/p>\n Hailing the benefits of keeping it in a chilled environment, he said: “If you refrigerate it, it thickens up even more and you can spread it on toast or pancakes, or even stir it into your porridge?<\/p>\n “I am never going to buy these store-bought jams again.”<\/p>\n
